Answer:

s ≤ -18

Explanation:

Multiply both sides of the inequality by -3. Since the multiplier is negative, you need to reverse the comparison symbol.

(-3)(-s/3) ≤ (-3)(6)

s ≤ -18

_____

If you multiply by a positive number, you don't need to reverse the symbol. Hence multiplying by 3 gives ...

-s ≥ 18

You can now add s to both sides:

0 ≥ 18 + s

and subtract 18 from both sides:

-18 ≥ s

Of course, this is the same relationship as ...

s ≤ -18
